Not only does it give your quilt a professional and finished look, but it also makes it much easier to use and display. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of upholstering a quilt, making it a simple DIY project that you can easily accomplish. Let’s get started!

Gather the Necessary Materials

Before we dive into the process, let’s gather all the materials you’ll need:

  • Quilt
  • Fabric for Upholstery (enough to cover the quilt completely)
  • Scissors
  • Measuring tape
  • Sewing machine or needle and thread
  • Pins
  • Iron and ironing board
  • Staple gun
  • Staples

Step 1: Prepare the Quilt

Lay your quilt flat on a clean surface and ensure it is free from any wrinkles or folds. This will make it easier to work with and ensure a smooth upholstery.

Step 2: Measure and Cut the Upholstery Fabric

Measure the dimensions of your quilt to determine the amount of upholstery fabric you’ll need. Add a few extra inches to each side for seam allowance. Once measured, cut the upholstery fabric accordingly.

Step 3: Pin and Sew the Fabric

Place the upholstery fabric on top of the quilt, aligning the edges. Pin the fabric in place, making sure the quilt is evenly covered. Using a sewing machine or needle and thread, sew along the edges to secure the fabric onto the quilt.

Step 4: Trim Excess Fabric

Once you’ve sewn the fabric onto the quilt, trim any excess fabric along the edges to achieve a neat and clean finish.

Step 5: Iron the Upholstered Quilt

Using an iron on a low heat setting, gently iron the upholstered quilt. This step helps to remove any wrinkles and gives it a polished look.

Step 6: Secure the Fabric with Staples

Flip the quilt over, with the fabric side facing down. Starting on one side, use a staple gun to secure the fabric onto the back of the quilt. Space the staples evenly along the edge, ensuring the fabric is taut and smooth. Continue stapling until all sides are securely fastened.

Step 7: Enjoy Your Upholstered Quilt

Voila! Your quilt is now beautifully upholstered, ready to be used or displayed. Enjoy the convenience and aesthetic appeal of your newly upholstered quilt.
